The Fantasy Art of The Bard's Tale - Tokens

The Bard's Tale is a fantasy computer role-playing game where the protagonist is a bard -- a type of adventurer-minstrel -- with a quintessential "rogue" stereotype and set in a Gaelic world. The game art is period and geographically appropriate, and characters are a mix of realistic and caricatured. The monsters are quite non-standard (no orcs and goblins, for a change) though not with art so outlandish as to make them look alien.

This Bard's Tale fantasy game art gallery features narrator comments on various tokens / artifacts that can be acquired during the game, sometimes with a humourous quip in addition to what is written about the item.

During the game, the Bard will make a choice which ultimately decides whether he will get the Ring of Tara (the second Rhythm token) or other Tokens later. For the Ring of Tara, the commentary is "This ring once belonged to a great musician and was originally unearthed in the ruins of ancient Tara, now passing on a portion of his talent."
